I got a "one touch Verio" monitor right now. I've had it for 5 years.. I'm not what's going on with it now, but it doesnt' seem to be accurate anymore.
For example, I'll go to test and based on what I ate and did, I know I should be under 6.0.. I'll test and I'll get 6.2.. and because I don't think that's accurate, I'll retest right away and get 5.6 or 5.7... I thought maybe my test strips were old so I got new ones and the same thing keeps happening.
Regardless of my number, if I retest right away, I always get a lower number the 2nd time.. I've never had a retest test higher.
It's not dirty/wet hands.. I ruled that out.
Anyone have issues like this with monitors?? I'd like to get one of the monitors where I can test myself all day by just swiping the monitor to the sensing pad thing on my body.. I don't have diabetes so I'm not sure if its covered under my plan or not. Or if I'd have to buy it privately.
I use blood sugar monitor to diet.. it really helps me understand if I've got my macro's and timing down or not.. I also use it constantly when I make any diet/supplement changes to see if it affected my blood sugar.
